Lake Whillans

Lake Whillans is a litigation finance and distressed venture capital firm providing funding for companies in litigation or arbitration, and for emerging or venture / private equity backed companies in distressed situations. Commercial litigation financing liberates a company to use its capital for corporate purposes; we fund fees and expenses associated with monetizing a legal claim and can also provide capital to maintain operations. Our funding is non-recourse. If the underlying claim is unsuccessful, we are owed nothing. Invest in Yourself We help profitable businesses invest where they know they can generate returns: in themselves. Rather than having to choose between pursuing a legal remedy and investing in the business, litigation finance allows companies to do both. Improve Your Market Valuation Proceeds from a legal claim are often discounted by markets as a one-time gain, while returns generated from the business receive a multiple; litigation finance can free capital to be used where it counts. Restore Parity to the Legal System The scales of justice should not be tipped by balance sheets. Litigation finance helps ensure that resolutions reflect the merits of a claim rather than the financial standing of the parties. #litigationfinance #litigation #arbitration #CommercialLitigation #finance #BigLaw #venturecapital
